The Lowlands

Boys made of cola
Girls made of wine
In theory the two of them
Can never intertwine
But the lowlands have no sympathy
For the laws of nature’s ways
And so the scene was set for love
And the blending of their days
Of their days
His soul as black as black can go
Hers as red as the dawn
Both of them so far away
Away from their home
From their home
And you just came in dancing
You just came in dancing on your shoes
Well you just came in dancing
You just came in dancing on your shoes
Everytime they steppd into
A restaurant or bar
Heads would turn and peopl would say
'you can tell they come from far'
They come from far
Their bed too small to hold one man
Big enough for them
Their love too large to fit between
Its beginning and its end
I hope that you know
That you just came in dancing
You just came in dancing on your shoes
Well you just came in dancing
You just came in dancing on your shoes
But I loved, I loved, I loved you
I loved, I loved, I loved you
Every day
You might call it failure
But me I just don’t know
Who to thank for all of this
For the highs, the mids and the lows
